This book explores the use of the Bible among Latino/a theologians today. Latino/a Theology emerged in the 1980s, alongside a broad variety of contextual theological movements and discourses following the Latino/a movement and the formation of Latino/a Studies in the 1960s and 1970s. While much work has been done on biblical interpretation in Latino/a biblical criticism, little can be found regarding interpretation in Latino/a theological reflection. To address this gap in the literature, the contributors, from various ecclesial affiliations and religious traditions, examine the status and role of the Bible in Latino/a Theology.

A much needed addition to my library, and hopefully yours, this exciting volume encompasses a kaleidoscope of reflections on the diverse meanings and roles of Christian scriptures in and for Latina/o theologies and Latina/o quests for liberation. By bringing an array of prominent Latina/o theologians into conversation with two leading Latino biblical critics, this collection will be useful to students and scholars alike. A wide-ranging and interdisciplinary discussion, these essays inaugurate far greater space for deeper engagement between Christian theologies, biblical studies, and Latino/a/x studies more broadly.
